da 888casino： Ex-Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has tipped Liverpool to challenge for the title this season.
da lvbet： The Reds are fourth in the Premier League table on 16 points, two behind Manchester City at the top, and have beaten other potential contenders Arsenal and Chelsea this season, as well as drawing at Spurs.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have lost just the once, against Burnley, thus far and Yorke, who used to play for Manchester United, thinks his old team’s rivals will be right up there towards the end of the season.
Yorke, speaking exclusively to 888sport, said: “This is the year where four, even five, teams could win it. It’s very hard to predict who is going to win which is a good thing because in seasons past it was easy to say who would finish in the top two. That’s not the case anymore and Liverpool have a genuine chance of winning the Premier League this year that’s for sure.
“It’s a game full of history and rivalry but perhaps not so much in the modern day. This was the game we all looked forward to in my day but now with the two Manchester clubs being where they are that is the bigger game. I’m sure there will be one or two people disappointed in me saying that. The Liverpool game still have the intensity and history but the derby is bigger now.
“Mourinho is a man who has been around with great success and if he plays the right team and system we will get something from it. There is more fluency in the side now but under Klopp Liverpool are full of confidence and playing some good football now. Going to Anfield is never easy as I know from my experiences there.”
The comments from the striker come ahead of the North West Derby between Liverpool and Manchester United on Monday night.
United head into the game at Anfield three points behind Liverpool in the league table, and Jose Mourinho is set for his first taste of this fixture, whilst Klopp has seen the two teams play three times in his Liverpool career.
